Norfolk Broad's Yacht Club Regatta Week concluded in spectacular fashion on Sunday 28th July with the Diamond Jubilee Gold Challenge Cup, the most prestigious one-design event on the Norfolk Broads. This year, Flip Dugdale made history by winning the race in The Miller with her mother, Gilly Foulds, as crew.
Flip is the first woman to win in 60 years. At 33 she is the youngest winning helm in three decades and it's the first time a mother-daughter duo has won in the race's 127-year history. Their victory was even more impressive as they outperformed nine-time winner Chris Bunn and ten-time winner Ian Tims.
This year's race saw 29 starters, predominantly Yare and Bure One Designs along with two Broads One Designs. The race commenced on the first attempt, with no need for a general recall from race officer Paul Barker. Only one, John Clabburn in Thecla, was over the line. The sea breeze brought in a light North-Easterly wind favouring the Yare and Bure One Designs with their larger sail areas.
Flip is only the seventh woman to have her name on the trophy - though not all of those were helms. Tradition at the time meant owners names were marked on the trophy rather than the helms. It was not as we know it today for the female owners; Lady Mayhew recalled not being allowed to attend the fleet AGM and having to watch from a viewing gallery.
